But I can't reskin it correctly in-game.
Make sure all frames are placed the same or share the graphics so we can see what's wrong.

Three levels at once, in other words, all are made very quickly. They are way too short and simple, especially the second and third barely count as proper levels for me.

Finished yet another level for this, it's a Sonic-themed level

You shouldn't use a 30min extension music, it unnecessarily takes up space. Also please read what I've said above. This level yet again just has one section of flat landscape (and the most standard boss at the end). This project won't benefit from getting its levels flooded so quickly.

Um, you are right because it doesn't even feature an auto-scrolling layer.
Added in 5 minutes 56 seconds:
Also, I am working on a quite difficult level with custom graphics. I have first to complete all the graphics to implement in the level, then design and test it to make sure it's not bugged. Since I'm not a pro at doing this it takes for me a lot of time.

Almost finished the graphics! I still need to redo the effect sprites and the Yoshi character.

I was not sure about this after two weeks of silence and sammerbro's banishment/leaving. Guess I should resume the vertical lava castle idea, so far I have only done the intro section.

In this time I was at a vacation in Montesilvano, also I had something to do with my family. Sorry for all this time.
Anyway, I have almost finished making the graphics.

Hey, Cedur did you finish that vertical level?

Sorry, no. Other levels and stuff to play took precedence.

Why?
well I'm sorry for early giving a promise and then doing other things later on.
But the problem is the lack of presentation on your end, regarding a concept of the episode and presenting your own progress. Maybe if I had more of an idea where this is going I would have shifted priorities a bit
now I want to finish two levels for Mosaic's project and then do the vanilla contest

Man, what's wrong? This message just seems a little out of nowhere after not posting here for ages.
Don't cancel this project (you've worked pretty hard on it already). Instead, may I make a few suggestions?
1. Try to move over to SMBX2 PAL. This includes so much more content than 1.3.0.1 such as hundreds of new NPCs to use, which will generally make it easier for you to make more levels.
2. Start a Discord server. Your dad might tell you you're too young, but come on. So many children under age use social media, and Discord is just a much easier way to communicate with people than a forum.
3. Share some screenshots. It'd be cool to see visual progress on this thread (and the Discord server, if you moved over to there). It will allow people to gain a better understanding of the project and might bring more people in (pictures paint a 1000 words, and if someone sees a cool screenshot then they'll be more likely to offer their help on this project).
Don't cancel the project. If you've done so much already then you wouldn't want it to go to waste.
Alternatively, if you really feel this project can't go anywhere and would still be interested in making a collaboration project, then consider joining someone else's collab project for a while. I believe there's SLAM (not sure if this is open still), and I'm sure there's others as well. Just do whatever suits you best

Ofcourse, but it's not like anyone gets into trouble by joining social media underage

Is there a thread for this in the projects forum?

There's no project thread and I don't see evidence that SDA worked really as hard as Taycamgame implied. Frankly I already expressed that lack of evidence was a reason that I haven't been fully immersed into this thus far.

he says to be 15 and COPPA only forbids you to use Discord at age 12 and less. So that would be pretty alright

COPPA only applies in the US. In Europe, the legal age for using social media can be higher (as high as 16 in some countries). Also not a good idea to suggest that children violate rules set by their parents.

So, anything to explain your previous angry post?
